Discern the truth......

The problem withmaking assumptions is thatwe believe they are the truth.We make an assumption,we misunderstand, we take itpersonally, then we reactby sending emotionalpoison with our word.This creates a whole bigdrama for nothing.

Me & Julia out on a 9 mile hike today.It was cold on the top. Brrrr....

I've run and biked to the top more times than I can count, but have only ever hiked it once. It was early morning on New Years Day a few years back and I went up to catch the first sunrise of the new year. The trail was nearly empty and I remember really enjoying having it to myself and taking my time getting to the top (for once).

I ask as I am going to take a week and a half out to Utah (end of March) to get lost for a while. It looks like you have been doing much more that I plan to do. Maybe a three-day fast pack and much rock sitting.

I decided to withdraw from Umstead 100. I had to be out of work an extra 11 days. I'm not rich and don't have a sugar daddy yet, so I need to work and make money since I will be on the PCT for three months.I won't be making money and have bills to pay while I'm out on the trail.Not running Umstead will save me $600 dollars and I won't be lossing money by not working. I'm trying to save my vactions hours to use when I'm on the PCT.Catra

Glad you can start running again.I just gave a pint of my very best "Old #47" whole blood yesterday. I can still run, but it'll be 8 wks before I'm back the way I was.I'm glad I don't have you two ahead of me on the trail. I'd be trying to keep up - and killing myself in the process! You're awesome - both. Keep inspiring me to stay out on the trails. You and your friend look awesome, but it's what you do that keeps me coming back. You're a fantastic soul, Catra.

What a view! Great pics of your hike! Looks like you girls were having fun!

How is the PCT planning coming along? I'm very interested to hear more about it, what type of gear will you be using? How are you carrying food/water? If I lived closer by I would certainly come out to support you! Good luck with all the preparations

I hope the recovery continues to go well and that you'll be back to running long soon! Have a fun weekend!
